A 22-year-old woman has primary amenorrhoea, normal breast development, absent uterus on ultrasound, and a 46,XX karyotype. FSH is low. The most likely diagnosis is:
- A Turner syndrome (45,X)
- B Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome ✓
- C Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS)
- D Kallmann syndrome
Explanation
MRKH syndrome is characterised by congenital aplasia of the uterus and upper vagina in a female (46,XX) with normal ovarian function (normal FSH, normal breast development from oestrogen). CAIS is 46,XY with a uterus absent and testes present — karyotype would be XY. Turner syndrome is 45,X with elevated FSH and absent secondary sexual characteristics. Kallmann syndrome involves hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with anosmia and absent breast development.
